Wow... **face palm** ok well i didnt even relise it when i posted this picture but our robot has been student designed and student built! The mentors just happen to be the ones in the picture wow look at the can of worms i opened up


Team 241 takes prides in that the mentors teach and the students design build and drive

Is it just me or do some robots seem like they are playing Aim High? Just messing 241 the design looks great and simple. I feel like teams who can perfect the turreted shooter will have a big advantage this year.

Realize that this is a prototype, but it seems like the center of mass is pretty far back - given the motors/electronics/etc are mounted behind the axis between the rear wheels. Is there something under the rear of the robot to ensure it doesn't tip back? Also, is the rear of the frame indicative of the shape the competition robot will have (thinking of bumper rules and external corners).

I like the simplicity of the straight up and in ball feed path. Nice job of prototyping. Seems like I've seen a lot of wood on prototypes this year - including our own.

There is a rear fifth wheel that only will contact the ground if it begins to tip, and it litterally is one prototype sitting on top of another, so they arnt exactly lined up, the final works like a beauty

Picture! Picture! Picture!

Can your turret hit a moving target reliably? That was our worry with the turret design.

The cannons distance and accuracy were was perfectly consistent. We trust that our programming will make a fairly strong targeting system

The reason we sort of stood away from a turret design was because of accuracy, but it seems a lot of teams have overcame that challenge, and will probably be some of the better competition this season.

Kudos to those who can master the turrets!

At least the worms had valid points.
